A-Acme Pawn Shop Robber Charged With Aggravated Robbery

Lubbock Sheriff's Office

44-year-old Delna Kay Patterson is charged with aggravated robbery, after she tried to rob a pawn shop late Saturday afternoon. It happened at the A-Acme Pawn Shop, in the 4100 Block of Avenue Q. The store manager and another employee told police that the suspect pointed a handgun at them, threatened their lives and asked for money. That's when the manager drew his gun, and fired two shots. The suspect was hit once, but managed to get away.

Officers caught up with Patterson at her home, just minutes later. She was treated at University Medical Center and then taken to the Lubbock County Jail.
